a young democrat who seeks often with the. just over in caracas where voting has finally kicked off in venezuela you can see a huge line of people stretching around the corner we're not even close to the polling station but the excitement here is a man and these people have been lined up as you can see the line is starting to finally move for hours hours before the polls even opened both candidates have been urging people to take to the streets to really get out there early to try to build up a mass of popular support early because as soon as there is an irreversible trend the winner will be announced now what is at stake here on one end and comments president hugo chavez who is really radically changed both venezuela and the region under his so-called socialist twenty first century policies one of that has translated to is essentially nationalizing certain industries using venezuela's oil exports revenue to really focus attention on the underprivileged the poor here in this country that's translated into social programs health care education.
3:17 pm
communications housing and transportation services for people who really didn't have access for that and this has over the years built up a groundswell of opposition for more than one officer for two years and he wants to stay for six more years now his opponent has really seized on some of the problems that continue to plague this country this is corruption a very high crime rate in. young a forty year old wealthy businessman who has criticized this country's economic policies he's promised to improve ties with the west and could really radicalize the way this country's resources are now critics here suggest and worry that perhaps he could represent a radical alternative to shopping nominally in the sense that he could reverse a lot of those social programs policies potentially impose austerity packages on the country and really take away some of the programs of the poor here have continue to rely on of course that is not what his campaign says but that is the fear we seek out in caracas venezuela. let's not discuss the story with
3:18 pm
a times correspondent. joining us live from there is good to see them mr escobar now the two the deep distrust each other and the latest polls with the two candidates roughly even as it is a sign of how divided the country is. yes it is divided but the latest information that we have it's not they made for a sub this could win by fifty five percent to forty five percent according to the best last minute polls that we have the better dead actions going on here there is the turtle venezuela election going on which is basically a little middle class debt that they will love to spend more of all to the malls all the time and since martin is in miami like they always do in fact they're going as well or i guess the poor forty three percent of this government's budget goal to social policies in general so what he's been building over the last i don't
3:19 pm
need is a more equitable society and that would be the best gini coefficient it lacks in america that in terms of social inequality. if it were compared to other countries in developing world if it was the chief or the problem with job it is dead which of these as they go to bed as well and even all or all around latin america is very poor soil eyes by the president himself and there's a lot of corruption and inbuilt in this system so. much of a cup chris is saying that is not the extreme mill liberal or right wing because this is one of the it is no liberal right wing their basic is not a secular democrat but what is being say about corruption was correct and this is something that happens not only even as well but here in argentina where you have a moment in brazil as well and this opposition between them to poor
3:20 pm
and middle classes that aspire to live like that with all classes in europe or do i ask this to saying you find the same problem even as well in argentina or and because of sold a recent class struggle that it's very very hard core all over of these. most important contests in south america and then there's the other election which is show this war against washington which of the united states that we would love to have the korean state even as well like it was before jobs before these twelve years and but the child was so ill or whatever happens in this election problem chobits when. this will mean more integration in terms of lots of america. a decrease power over washington agents or washington itself in the race no cells america and better conditions for the poor as well but very very important should these small tasks right into corruption is
3:21 pm
a lie let me just jump in there you talked a little bit about tell washington now the international media has portrayed chavez as. and his campaign in very black and white why is the west so negative towards him. it's amazing because if you follow a mainstream media india way in the western europe and even the most of south america big private groups controlled media sells of america even as well in brazil in argentina for instance shows is the most big one now is the head of state in modern times even more than say that hussein. out of five or ahmadinejad's you name it it's amazing. g.'s private groups of course do. they usually said they're all right we more right we said of course and all of the most of them they are alive and good russian just like the situation that you see so i fit as well so often as the japanese is there just as a communist or even a fascist or even
3:22 pm
a mix of bulls like a communist fascist this is completely absurd. the direction that we're talking about inside the system has to be combative just like the corruption is inside the workers' party brits are. when the political space needed to be it's still the most . popular head of state and the rule by far brazil has fallen to around eighty percent johnny smoked a lot of children as well holders around sixty percent even after twelve years of all this because most of the votes he's believes are the poor and most of them to develop a blizzard of low middle class they are poor and that they want to become middle class just like brazilians for instance to move manage to get a story to forty million people from the poorest classes in brazil to become more middle class or the us and chavez is doing that sort of smaller stephen as well thirty billion people who was well off but at least ten to fifteen mile they could
3:23 pm
go see their themselves at least lower middle class for a good thing and that is the most unequal in the world especially south america this is an enormous achievement some critics say. may attract people not because of his policies but because they won some kind of a change is that fair in him. is that a yes i see it's a truth. it's got a president of the usually real fun hour after twelve years in power of course you need brother ideas need new ideas you cannot because of the with what you achieved and once again you have to fight like no corruption to do it in some sectors of the system specially people don't make enough money because their state employees so they resort to corruption to become a but the middle class will go to the switch so this is the problem but the dems of the policies them selves lie for most of that is well documented shit is much
3:24 pm
better imho david was twelve years ago if he applied the famous american question are you better off than you were four years ago most of it is was would say yes the job is a palace to cation better job opportunities the literacy literacy radically disappeared from venezuela teachers there were two of years ago there were like thirty thirty five thousand teachers in it as of now there will hundred sixty five on the health scare this is much better with by the way and there was of integration in the inlet america between venezuela and a whole other of latin american countries this is all positive for of it as well and and for good because the breach of the integration is so but it's always the middle classes that have a conservative a right to be bad so they've looked down into the great crisis only even as well it's all over this continent and it's happening in europe in the us. a day doing so
3:25 pm
. you can reach are going to have ascended to the upper midwest levels of the world's more consuming bowler and off course this can be achieved but not to the traction of the forests the sectors of society we're going to have to leave it right there thank you very much ate at times correspondent but as well find out if that cheese my eye will actually. get is another thing and then parliament. but i'd say over the seven the eleven years ago the day the u.s. led war in afghanistan began over three thousand alliance troops have died in the conflict most of them americans far more afghan civilians have also lost their lives international affairs commentator regrows also believes the only thing nato has achieved is causing hatred among the local population precious little has been accomplished nothing positive sense of course by the the western military intervention an occupation in afghanistan. most or you know arguably the only
3:26 pm
accomplishment dubious as it is this i don't be in production of skyrocketed under the watch of the u.s. and nato in afghanistan you know evidently the afghan people are not on the map in foreign boots on the ground and you know particularly after such a prolonged period of time the so-called green on blue attacks are an indication that the rank and file of the afghan population would like to see us in their nato allies or the us in their nato allies very good at the country as quickly as possible and that none of those are the barcode would have occurred in the first place out of north korea for the carter and the reagan administration straight into the job the war which you know exacerbated by regional and other times inside the country and there's a you know essence led to a thirty four year war in afghanistan and we have to place the blame where it belongs you know this is the result of u.s. intervention going back to the late one nine hundred seventy s.
